some tips that help me as well

reward yourself often while studying if you dont like it. Im talking like do 15-20 minutes of work, then a 30 minute break. Something I like to do as well is play a game where theres downtime sometimes (like you die and have to respawn), and use that deadtime to take a glance at your notes and try and remember everything you can.

Make connections between stuff, both for a deeper understanding and for helping recall.

If you need to remember a specific set of details, use memory tricks to help. My personally I love mneomnics and rhymes which don’t actually make much sense (for example, when i was learning the periodic table I remembered Ag because “AG I dropped silver on my foot” and Sn as “sin = tin”) Memory palaces also work super well and can help if you are struggling to remeber a particular part of something

Study spacenis also super important, me personally I like to study alone so i like to study at my desk, but studying in a similar enviornment to where you will be can help a lot. Like if you know where an exam will be, studying in that room for that exam ahead of time can improve recall

Also eat well, sleep right, etc etc. Do not cram. Its better to get good sleep than cram and not sleep well

everything is a competition in the US tbh
i remember in high school how after any test/exam everyone would immediately start comparing scores, which feels great if you did good, and terrible if you did poorly
most grading systems will also tell you the median, mode, high, and low of grades received for an assignment

where i went, the score went from 1-10

passing score was 4
if you got 3, rip bozo
if you got 4, good job
if you got 5 or above, genius
